Another side to Murphy

We've all seen the offensive juggernaut that is Ryan Murphy.

But there is more to the new Kitchener Rangers captain. He isn't just a one-dimensional guy who's locked in on scoring.

Check out another side of Murph, one that reveals his desire to become a well rounded player, his commitment to become a pro and read how he has leaned on former NHL tough guy Kris King for advice during his rise in the junior ranks.

As for perks of being named captain? Not too many, according to Murphy. Though, players with the 'C' do get to choose the music played during off-ice pre-game warmups. Last year's boss Michael Catenacci was a big techno guy. Murphy says it'll be a mix of country and pop music this year.
